Are the current producers ruining Home and Away?

I sent Lucy and Louise a tweet last year saying I have watched since the start and at present the level of violence is not what I watch Home And Away for and I think it should be scaled down. Neither ever replied, as discussed before she usually replies to positive comments. I haven't tweeted them since.

Home And Away is dying, I see the show being axed, or at least being moved to 5* in the next five years.

We are talking Channel 5 here, a channel with pretty much zero homegrown drama, dependent on showing Neighbours and Home and Away twice a day, five days a week, and showing US crime dramas on a continuous loop with the occasional new episode.I can't see them exiling HA to a minority channel to make room for another riveting documentary about DIY disasters, plastic surgery gone wrong and people with weird diets.

To paraphrase George Bernard Shaw, " Rumors of the Death of the Show are greatly exaggerated ". The show maintains its popularity in Australia.

Wasn't it Mark Twain?Otherwise, I agree with the sentiment and it's good to hear.

H&A can still do some episodes that are like the pre Braxton era, more everyday lighter episodes. It needs to do these more often. Neighbours manages to get the right balance. I think H&A needs to ditch the harsh incidental music. I almost tweeted Lucy the other day again saying "I am still unhappy with the frequency of dark stories that dont suit the show". I dont want to watch their "Aussie EastEnders" version :blink:

It sounds like the Home and Away producers won't do a Digital Spy interview this year :/. Neighbours already did one today but Daniel Kilkelly (interviewer) said that there are no plans for Home and Away to do an interview with him.

I saw it on Daniel Kilkelly's twitter site. My guess is that the producers declined to do the interview last year and I don't think DS can be bothered to ask HAA again. But maybe Lucy Addario might do it this year. I hope her answers aren't predicable and she doesn't answer like a politician. I will never forget her response about the opening titles, saying they don't want to lose 30 seconds or one minute of screentime. They managed to do well with the credits in the past.
